Need basic Flash help

I'm trying to make a Flash animation of 4 hexs glowing and dimming. Each hex starts out in an "off" state. The first hex then starts lighting up gradually (via "motion tweening"). Then after 80% of the first hex is done lighting up, the 2nd one starts to light up. There's only one problem though.

I want the first hex to STAY lit up. Each hex is made in its own layer. Once the hex reaches its last frame, the layered hex just stops animating. It goes back to frame 1 and stays there. How do I get the first hex to STAY lit?

Here's my site just incase you're confused at what I'm trying to say. http://www.gigahurtz.net

You have to have frames for something at whatever point you want it to show. Extend the frames to the end of the animation and it will show that layer until the end of the animation.

you have to put in a "stop" command at the end of your last frame. I'm quite rusty on flash, so I dont remember exactly how to do it. Check frame properties maybe.

right-click on the frame and go to "actions"
